BUD BOOTHE ARRESTED AND ABUSED

On January 5, 2011, during the regular monthly vigil held outside the main gate in the legal protest area, Bud Boothe was warned that he was in violation of a Ban and Bar order and was given two minutes to leave or face arrest. Bud chose to remain and subsequently was arrested. During the arrest process the hand cuffs were placed on him very tightly, which caused a severe bruise to his wrist and back of hand. Throughout the process Bud repeatedly complained about the pain he was suffering, but nothing was done by the arresting guards. A photo of Bud’s hand can be seen on MacGregor Eddy’s Blog.
